About Aphenos

Empowering self-insured employers with transparent healthcare pricing data to reduce costs by 20-40%

Our Mission

Healthcare costs are crushing American businesses. Self-insured employers pay actual healthcare costs, not premiums, yet they've been flying blind on pricing—until now.

Aphenos brings radical transparency to healthcare pricing. We aggregate and analyze real hospital pricing data, revealing the shocking truth: identical procedures can vary by up to 1000% within the same market.

Our platform empowers HR teams and CFOs with actionable data to negotiate better rates, guide employees to cost-effective care, and save millions on healthcare spend.

Why Aphenos Exists

  • 61% of covered employees are in self-insured plans, yet pricing remains opaque
  • Healthcare costs are the #2 expense for most employers after payroll
  • Price variations of 122% average mean massive savings opportunities
  • Direct contracting can bypass insurance markups entirely
